Yet another newbie question then:
I tried to enter a value of a resistor
(/usr/share/gEDA/sym/analog/resistor-2.sym, my operating system is
Ubuntu 10.10) but the position of the value needs to be adjusted a
bit. How can I do that?
It should look like this:
–––[390kΩ]–––
But it rather looks like this:
–39[0kΩ ]–––
The value needs to be centred, rather than aligned to the left.
Did you try to just move the text?
Select the text (not the component, just the text of the value
attibute),
type e x, or (Edit->Edit Text) select Middle-Middle alignment
move the alignment mark to the center of the resistor.
I tried that now,since you suggested it. Unfortunately it doesn't work
like I expected: Left seems to mean right, right seems to mean left, upper
seems to mean lower and lower seems to mean upper. Upper left seems to be
default and everything else takes the text further away from where I want
it.
For further resistors, copy this resistor, so you do not need to allign
every instance again. Attach a footprint attribute first, so that is
copied as well, with your favorite resistor footprint.
I also looked a bit into the /usr/share/gEDA/sym/analog/resistor-2.sym
file, but I'm too much of a newbie to make any relevant changes to
such files that actually work…
You can open a symbol file in gschem to make changes, and save the
changed version for your project.
Oh… didn't think of that… yes, that should work, of course.
